Tuba Skinny Finally Gets On Nick Spitzer's Show American Routes Because Of Robert Crumb

I have been trying for 6  years to get Nick Spitzer to put Tuba Skinny on his radio show American Routes.org(also available on line on the computer) to no avail even though they live in his own back yard in New Orleans. So I was surprised they finally made it on his show but only because they visited Robert Crumb in France and played their music for him and he plays their music for Nick Spitzer in this weeks show on American Routes.

Listen to it here. Also you can hear Robert Crumb talk about them and his record collection and hear much more old time ethic music.

September 24th, 2014 ~ This week on American Routes we spin some shellac and wax nostalgic with the iconic cartoonist, musician and record collector Robert Crumb, who'll share with us his love of musical times gone by. Then, we talk to educator and vinyl aficionado Jerry Zolten about the story of Paramount Records, started by a furniture manufacturer, whose recorded legacy is now contained in two swank suitcases.

Wahington Post Art Critic Paul Richard Reviews The First Underground Comic Art Exhibit In A Museum---Washington D.C. May 1969 At The Washington Gallery Of Modern Art--Walter Hopps Director

I have written more on this blog about Paul Richard and Walter Hopps and The Washington Gallery of Modern Art circa 1967-68-69. You can search for those posts by clicking on the names in the Label Box below.
I recently found my copies of Paul Richard's Reviews of this show from 1969. Since they not on the web anywhere as far as I know here it is now.
The above picture is of Walter Hopps taken around the time he was Director of the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington D.C.
Click on the photos to enlarge them and double click if necessary to read the above.
The drawing is by Robert Crumb.
   Paul Richard Reviewed the Show again about a week later on June 1, 1969. Here is that Review below.
It was too large for my scanner so I had to do it in pieces to get it all in.
The above drawing is by Robert Crumb. Click on it to enlarge it. This is from 1969. Do the freeways in the cities look like this now. I would say Yes.
   
For all the information and photos I have on this comix art show search my blog for the labels shown below.

And below is the Gilbert Shelton drawing the young collector bought in the show that is referred to in the review above. Click on the picture to enlarge it. And double click if necessary.

And click on the link below to see the whole Comic book this drawing comes from which includes stories of Wonder Wart Hog.
The original artwork was large in size. 19 inches by 12.5 inches.
